Task
If you want to configure Seon to authentificate users with the configured username via a centralized Windows Active Directory service, you have to configure the PAM security system of the underlying Unix environment.
This documentation is based on the Seonvirtual VMware image, which is based on the latest Debian Linux distribution. If you have any other distribution, you may re-use these information in order to configure your environment accordingly.
Configuring the connectivity consists of several steps, which are described here:
Declarations
In this documentation, several values will be used for hostnames, domain name, usernames and password. These are only examples and must be changed according to your environment.
AD server:
Hostname: win2k8 (192.168.1.65) Domain name: w2k8.c-works.net
User for connecting to domain (with administrative rights, but without permission to login interactively on AD server):
Username: pamauth Password: Test4321
User to be authentificated (as an example) and configured in Seon:
Username: seonuser Password: Test1234
Synchronize time
The underlying security model relies on synchronized time between (Active Directory) server and (Linux Seon) client).
